  • Simple Cambridgeshire working farm site 15 minutes’ drive from Royston
  • Imperial War Museum Duxford and Cambridge both half an hour’s drive
  • Dog-friendly with spacious, level grass pitches; livestock on site
Prefer somewhere off the beaten track? The camping field at Eastgate Farm may only be 15 minutes’ drive from Royston and half an hour from Cambridge, but both places seem far, far away from this back-to-basics spot. Just a handful of level grass pitches are available on the small farm site, with no-frills facilities stretching to a shower and toilet, washing-up sink, water fill-up and waste disposal.   Barbecues are permitted on the camping field (you’ll need to bring all the gear with you), and you can stock up on groceries in small supermarkets in Bassingbourn (five minutes’ drive) or do larger shops in Royston. If you’d rather have a complete break from cooking, there are several pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, or you could make a night of it in Cambridge restaurants. A few practicalities now: as this is a rural working farm with livestock, please expect the sights, sounds and smells of a farm, and while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads when you’re on site. While the ground is level and flat, it can get wet in late autumn. There is occasional traffic noise too, but rarely at night.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, basic farm campsite with large, well-maintained pitches. Visitors praise the friendly owners, countryside views, and proximity to local attractions like Duxford. While facilities are generally clean and functional, the single toilet/shower cubicle can lead to waits. Some mention road noise, but many find it a quiet and relaxing stay offering excellent value.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Its small and quiet, we were welcomed warmly and introduced to the site. Its simple and its nice because of that. There is no shop, the toilets ,while in separate solidly built pods are acceptable but there is only one shower serving the site although it is a very small site of about ten pitches. I'd certainly go back.

Local attractions

There’s masses to pique the interest of plane buffs in these parts; you could start with the range of vintage aircraft, fighter planes, naval helicopters and stealth bombers at IWM Duxford (half an hour’s drive). There are more historic planes displayed at Shuttleworth (25 minutes), along with trams, motorbikes and steam engines too. If that’s not up your street, tour the neoclassical mansion at National Trust - Wimpole Estate (15 minutes), or check out the Jacobean architecture and Capability Brown-designed gardens at Audley End House and Gardens (35 minutes). And of course Cambridge (half an hour) is known for fabulous art at the Fitzwilliam Museum and contemporary Kettle’s Yard, and you can also explore spectacular colleges like medieval Peterhouse and Tudor-era Kings. If the kids would rather be running around outdoors, treat them to paintballing challenges at the Apocalypse Paintball and Airsoft activity centre (10 minutes), where you can also play laser tag and bubble football. Animal-lovers can meet red pandas and big cats at Shepreth Wildlife Park (15 minutes), or watch raptor displays and cuddle alpacas at Herrings Green Activity Farm and Bird of Prey Centre (35 minutes).
